Hmmm  - very interesting .......

 

Haven't seen a single "Let the tank begin" post yet. -  can a new spirit of optimism have taken root??

Ideally people are starting to realize that actually standings results aren't particularly important at this point in the rebuild and mixed in with the cresting waive of ready young kids (exciting) and a more gritty and faster pace of play along with the giddy air of hockey FINALLY being back after a long summer...

Things do seem more optimistic this year. Even the tankers are excited to see what the youngins can do out there.

I believe we scored 218 goals last year and allowed 249 and don’t see where we move much off those numbers this year. That’s not terrible as another year with a top 8 pick would not be the worst outcome.

 

The optimism is the sea change in the direction of the team - it feels like after this season we will be on the way back up. The twins retirement, young guys busting their way onto the team and an almost palpable sense that this is the year 2 or 3 vets get moved for high picks has me excited for the first preason game in a long time. Much popcorn will be harmed in the watching of this season.
